Abstract excerpt
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are relevant sources of antibiotic resistance into aquatic environments. Disinfection of WWTPs' effluents (e.g. by UV-C irradiation) may attenuate this problem, though some clinically relevant bacteria have been shown to survive disinfection. In this study we characterized 25 CTX-M-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from a WWTP's UV-C-irradiated effluent, aiming to...
